Jason Campbell has broken collarbone

The Raiders haven’t missed Jason Campbell much against the Browns, but they’d still like to have their starting quarterback as soon as possible.

It doesn’t sound like they are going to get him back any time soon, however. Word out of Oakland, via Mike Florio of PFT, is that Campbell suffered a broken collarbone in the first half against the Browns. If true, he’ll miss the rest of the season. The Raiders haven’t confirmed the report.

Either way, it looks like Kyle Boller and/or Terrelle Pryor (or, after his 35-yard touchdown pass on a fake field goal, Shane Lechler) will be leading the Raiders offense in the weeks to come.

How come is Campbell’s collarbone fracture for the season if Marques Colston’s collarbone fracture was just for four games? How differently can your collarbone be broken? Seems like the answer is: VERY.

As a bronco fan this is awful. I know my team isn’t going anywhere this season and I’m sick of the chargers winning the division. Orton for a 7th rounder?? He’d be really motivated to stick it to the broncos.

There are different grades for fractures, also. Romo’s was a complete fracture and if Campbell’s is also, he will be out for season most likely. As you know, he (Romo) suffered his at this same point last year.

Marques Colston doesn’t get the ball on every single down and doesn’t have to throw the ball down the field so yes the injuries are very different.

Unfortunately, as a Dallas fan, I speculated right away that it was a broken collarbone. It was the exact same hit that broke Tony Romo’s collarbone: right on his shoulder with his arms pinned at his sides. Once I saw him walking to the locker room holding his arm by his stomach, I “knew” it was the same injury.

those of you that say Orton (Broncos) will possibly be traded to the Raiders are pretty funny. That will probably happen the day the US trades every nuclear warhead in our arsenal to Iran for a few thousand barrells of oil.

See, this is true, but we’re talking Kyle Boller here. Kyle Boller isn’t going to fit into any system or develop a rapport with any team. Better to pick up a player with an ounce of talent to learn on the job than to send Kyle Boller out there to continue being Kyle Boller.

I don’t know where they go from here. Boller is not the answer.
Campbell has not looked very good the last two games, but I can’t see who they put under center that wouldn’t be a downgrade.
I guess I’ll wait and see.

Kyle Boller is the man. He was the greatest quarterback the Ravens ever had. I mean ever.
The guy is a stud. Did you know he can throw a football from the 50 yard line, on he knees, through the uprights on a goal post. Oakland has nothing to worry about with Mr. happy feet.
He’s the greatest.

Those of you saying the Palmer will be the one coming to Oakland are targeting the wrong Bengals QB.

There’s a backup QB in Cincy that knows the Raiders offense, and proved last season he could win games in that offense. While not a Pro Bowl QB, he’s definitely a step above Kyle Boller, and Andy Dalton’s play has rendered him unnecessary there.

He’ll also come MUCH cheaper than Palmer. his Raider teammates would rally around him, knowing he can win games for them.

Therefore, look for Bruce Gradkowski to make his way back to Oakland this week.
